What you need: Lots of magazines, scissors, glue, felts/crayons etc, paper… anything that might be useful!!!
Preparation: Try doing this activity for yourself! What to do: Get the children to write 'Who is (insert name)?” in the middle of the page. Then, using the magazines etc, have the children find as many words/pictures that describe who they are. e.g. boy, girl, sporty, good at singing, a daughter, red haired, etc. If you have time at the end, gather together and get the children to share their collages with each other. Variations: For older children you might like to have them find bible verses that mean something to them. If they aren't comfortable navigating a bible, try referring them to the Psalms. Or you could ask them to write questions they have about life, or write what is important to them, what they want to do when they are older, dreams they have etc. |
